I didn't see the script.

I do not doubt this is useful for how you are using slapt-get, but this is a customization that
does not lend itself well to generalization.   This implementation will not work across all the
distributions that slapt-get is used on and the fact that it uses uname and the presence of
files in /etc concerns me further.

There might be a better way to do this that doesn't involve so much duplication.


take care,
